I would normally recommend starting with tenets to cement a flavour for the subclass
#Palaldin Subclasss: Oath of Flame
shrewd garden
Yeah, Wasn't entierly sure how to word the tenants, so I just made a description instead lol
dense eagle
Infuse flame is almost certainly too strong
Free smite on every hit
For a minute
Protective flame on the other hand I like quite a bit. Basically a suped up armor of agathys
shrewd garden
Hmmm... yeah, perhaps. I wanted to make a flame touge like effect as a class feature. Since weilding a flaming sword was the original insparation
dense eagle
I think it should be an action though
shrewd garden
Fair enough, the spell armor of agathys is too I think, and I did basically copy the words from it
shrewd garden
What about the other abilities?
shrewd garden
The aura I’m kinda iffy on. Since it does like 3 separate things. I wanted to give this subclass the ability to bypass fire resistance since it’s the most common resistance and kinda screws over the class. But to give that feature to the other in an aura is kinda butts since no one else is likely to have exclusively fire damage like this guy is. So I gave extra fire damage to go with it so that it actually does something for allies.
dense eagle
Could just tie the flametongue channel divinity to bypassing fire resistance
shrewd garden
Ah, yeah that could work. Sorry for the wait. I left to take care of something. Any ideas what I should do for the aura then? Just giving fire resistance seems kinda meh since it's not much
Although... it would mean that the spells they cast wouldn't get the effect I think. Only the channel divinity. Or only when it's active
shrewd garden
Had an idea for the aura. What about something like, when you deal fire damage to a creature. You can heal one person, or yourself, in your aura. Perhaps it scales with how much damage done to make use of those fire aoe spells like fire ball.

That sounds pretty unique, I like it
Not sure if making it scale off of AoEs is a good idea though
Too much healing could be a tad broken
shrewd garden
Alright
I guess the question is then… how much
I guess there should also be some kind of limitation or wording in place as to how it works, since if we do it when ever an attack happens then theoretically you could get 3 attacks on your turn. 2 from extra attack if you have your flaming weapon active, an your bonus action if you manage your weaponize that. Then you could do a 4th off turn with your reaction or just by having some kind of effect happen like someone stepping into wall of fire. So a clause for when this healing might happen might be needed
